Ronan Keating, Kyle Sandilands open up about their marriage woes

Melbourne (ANI): X Factor judges Ronan Keating and Kyle Sandilands have opened up for the first time about their marriage woes, insisting breaking up is hard for them. Sandilands said that his fellow judges Keating, Guy Sebastian and Natalie Imbruglia were there for him when the breakdown of his marriage to Tamara Jaber was revealed.

"The separation and stuff? Like any friends you support each other and they have been very good to me," Sandilands said. "When it all came out it was old news to me and Tamara but everyone here knew what my situation was," he added.

Irish singer Keating said that being in Australia had given him and his wife Yvonne a chance to reconcile. Keating's marriage was rocked when he was exposed as having had a seven-month affair with a dancer. But his wife and three children are with him in Australia and have joined him on set.

"We've been left to our own devices but we are now happy family. It's all good, thank God," The Herald Sun quoted Keating as saying.
